Jeremy Lin: Twitter Star

Move over Blue Ivy Carter, the Twitterverse is exploding with a new star, and he’s a lot taller. Jeremy Lin, the 23-year-old Asian-American Knicks guard, has became an online meme with tweets about him exploding—and his own personal followers increasing from 200,000 to 383,000 in just four days. Lin led the Knicks to crush Kobe Bryant and the Lakers on Friday night, and he faces off against LeBron James and the Miami Heat on Feb. 23—in other words, don’t expect the hype to die down yet.
